Yes, this option is available in our premium version Social Chat Premium

Yes, Social Chat WP is fully GDPR compliant and does not store any personal data. The premium version includes an advanced GDPR consent feature that displays a customizable checkbox with your privacy notice. Users must accept the consent before they can interact with contacts or send messages, ensuring complete compliance with data protection regulations.

Yes, every user of your website will be able to see the number of WhatsApp you are using. For this reason we advise you to not use a WhatsApp number that you want to keep private.

Yes. Since version 8.7.0 you can set a contact type to "Username" and enter your WhatsApp Business @username. Visitors open the chat through wa.me/@yourusername, on mobile and desktop, without seeing your phone number. You can set your username in WhatsApp Business > Settings > Profile > Username. If you change it, update it in Social Chat: the old link stops working. You can also use it in the shortcode: [whatsapp username="@yourusername"]

Omit any zeroes, brackets or dashes when adding the phone number in international format, including your country code, area and regular phone number. Use: 15551234567
